Mississippi River Raft Nuisance From 18th Century Forms
The article recalls a Mississippi raft nuisance that grew from a lower Red River arm, reaching ten miles in length and eight feet deep by 1778. It required removal by Louisiana at great expense, with U.S. government later removing a relief, and Red River channel blockages persisting for 45 years.
